About Donna
Donna Deadman is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship concerns, and codependency. She works with adults and teens and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and clear. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical change.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is getting in the way of daily life. Donna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.

Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems and set concrete goals. Donna tailors sessions to each person and focuses on skills that can be used between meetings. She emphasizes small, steady steps that lead to clearer choices and greater confidence.
Her background includes a Master’s degree in Counseling from Loyola College in Baltimore and six years of professional clinical experience as an LPC. She previously worked many years as a school counselor and has additional experience with adults and teens online.
Donna schedules around busy family and work lives and notes specific weekend and evening hours during the school year, with expanded availability in summer months. She supports English-speaking clients and can work with people located outside the United States, so international clients are welcome.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work, school, or caregiving schedules because they remove travel time and allow appointments during evenings or weekends. Online work can also make short check-ins or skill-practice between sessions more practical. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic techniques to make online sessions focused and useful while matching them to each person’s needs.
